Applied finance- Macq. Uni (1 Viewer)

[NizDiz]

hi guys, I'm currently in yr 12, I'm planning to do applied finance at Macq, but not sure whether to do it with commerce: pro. Accounting or economics. Just wondering which is better?, harder, better for jobs and what kind of jobs e.g. possible to do investment banking?, etc. Please let me know if u have any idea? Thanks

Well i reckon prof accounting would be better since u can either become an accountant or go into a related finance field.. I dont know what jobs u can get with economics, maybe become a lecturer or something.

Macquarie Applied Finance is the C.A certified course from my knowledge. I think there is a C.A course and there is a C.P.A courses if you want to be qualified to be an accountant. C.A is popular in Australia and C.P.A is only popular in America i think. No i'm wrong prof-accounting get both.

Applied Finance doesn't give you an accounting qualification. You need to study Professional Accounting to meet the requirements of the CA or CPA qualification.

@OP - it's hard to say which is harder because it depends on what you excel at. Accounting typically has more job opportunities such as accounting firms, consulting, etc.

Investment banking isn't my field but from what I gather, most people do Com/Law to get into that.

Applied finance is a good degree for those who don't want to do accounting when they finish, but still work in finance.

Depends what you are interested in. There aren't heaps, but it all pays fairly well (for a first year grad)
